The role
Transform bronze and silver data in Databricks into clean, tested and documented gold-layer models.
Design core quote, policy and claims models, with consistent metrics for finance, pricing, marketing and operations.

What we're looking for
You'll have worked in analytics engineering, BI engineering or a similar modelling-focused role, ideally with production experience in Databricks or another lakehouse environment. We're looking for:

Hands-on Databricks, including Delta tables, workflows and Unity Catalog.
Experience with dbt, Databricks Lakeflow or another production modelling framework.
Git, code review, automated testing and well-maintained documentation.
Ability to agree metric definitions with commercial stakeholders and explain complex models clearly.
Experience with Databricks metric views, Genie, Power BI modelling, Python, insurance data, pricing models or AI-ready datasets would be beneficial.
